Why choose us in Port Elizabeth?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next after-school project in PE? It’s not just about making a mess—it’s about building skills that last a lifetime! 🔥

  • Ultimate boost in confidence: Seeing a giant piece of art you created yourself produces an incredible sense of achievement.
  • Teamwork makes the dream work: We focus on collaborative murals where students must communicate and work together to finish the piece. 🤝
  • Hand-eye coordination: Controlling a spray can is a fine motor skill that requires focus and steady hands.
  • Stress relief: It’s a therapeutic way for students to express their emotions and de-stress after a long day of schoolwork.
  • Professional guidance: We aren't just 'guys with paint'; we are experienced educators and artists who know how to inspire. 🎨
  • Safe environment: We take the 'danger' out of graffiti by providing a legal, supervised, and protected space to explore.

How it works

  1. The warm-up: We start with a brief intro to the history of graffiti and how it evolved from the streets to the world's most famous galleries. 🎨
  2. Safety first: Every student gets geared up with masks, gloves, and protective suits to stay clean and safe while they work.
  3. Sketching the vision: Before touching a can, we grab markers and paper to plan out our 'tags' and letter styles, learning about flow and layout.
  4. Can control basics: Our pros teach the 'anatomy' of a spray can, showing how to control pressure, distance, and angle for different effects.
  5. First lines: Students head to the wall to practice basic lines, dots, and filling techniques to get a feel for the medium. 🖌️
  6. The masterpiece begins: Now it's time to go big! Students start sketching their designs onto the wall using light-coloured 'faded' paint.
  7. Adding the 'Fill': We bring the colours to life, learning how to blend shades and create smooth gradients and vibrant patterns.
  8. The final outline: Students learn the 'power line' technique, adding a sharp outline to their work to make it pop off the wall. ✨
  9. Photo op & cleanup: We wrap up with a group photo in front of the finished wall and handle all the cleanup, leaving only the art behind.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our professional instructors are experienced in working with kids and teenagers, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly in a well-ventilated outdoor environment. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for younger hands to control, making it a safe and fun experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical after-school session last?

Our after-school workshops in Port Elizabeth typically last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives the students enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tagging' and 'piece' designs on paper, and then head to the walls or canvases to create their final masterpiece. It’s the perfect duration to keep the energy high and the creativity flowing without anyone getting tired!

Do we need to provide our own spray paint or gear?

You don't need to bring a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for the workshop. This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, protective clothing, caps (nozzles), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. We recommend that students wear comfortable clothes and old sneakers just in case a little paint wanders off-target, but otherwise, we’ve got it all covered.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists are experts at breaking down the complex world of street art into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether a student is a naturally gifted artist or has never held a spray can before, we’ll guide them through the process until they’ve created something they are truly proud of. It's all about having fun and learning!

Can the workshop take place at our school premises?

We are very flexible! While we have some incredible local spots in PE where we host workshops, we can also bring the mobile graffiti wall to your school or community centre. As long as there is a suitable outdoor area with enough ventilation and space for the group, we can set up our 'spray zone' almost anywhere. Just let us know your location preference when booking!

How does the payment process work?

We believe in complete peace of mind. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and everyone is happy with the result. This ensures a 100% satisfaction guarantee and makes the administrative side of things much easier for schools and parents. We accept various convenient payment methods.
